Food, family and memories are as intertwined in the South as if woven on the same thread. At any function we attend, from a party to a wedding to a funeral, we are as likely to talk as much about the food that was there, as we are about why we are gathered. ~Mary Foreman

Thank you for your great recipes! You've helped transform this former Yankee now loving life in Mississippi into a respectable Southern cook, and provided loads of laughter as well. My southern-born & bred & fed husband sure is happy!

Katherine, please contact me by Monday, July 14, 2014 at mary@deepsouthdish.com with your full name and mailing address so we can get your cookbook to you!

I started my own food blogging adventure in 2008. Even writing that seems so odd to me that I've actually been doing this that long already!

In the beginning there weren't that many of us blogging about food specifically, and most especially about Southern food. Facebook was new, Pinterest and Instagram didn't exist, but all that's certainly changed over the past six years, and I've met many different bloggers along the way through all of those mediums. Some became friends, others came and went, posting for a little while and then fading away, and others, well, you just seemed to connect to right away.

Mandy Rivers is like that. I first got to know her over three years ago and immediately found her personality engaging. She's personable, funny and despite her recent successes expanding from her blog work, she still remains quite humble about it all.

And then there's the food, of course! Mandy is from Lexington, South Carolina, and authors the successful blog South Your Mouth but her recipes have also been featured in several popular magazines and she is active on many social media sites where earlier this year, she caught the eye of Food Network producers. Mandy represented the South in a network competition called America's Best Cooks, alongside my personal favorite and my own state of Mississippi's Iron Chef Cat Cora.

Mandy's newly released, debut cookbook of the same name, South Your Mouth, Tried & True Southern Recipes is as delightful as she is. It arrived on my doorstep as I was leaving for a weekend in Dallas, so I tucked it into my suitcase. As I settled into bed that night, I began reading it and found myself literally laughing out loud quite a few times, as I leafed through the pages, because Mandy, and her humorous personality, shined through every single page. I was so proud of her!

Whether its Baked Pimento Cheese or Fried Pork Chops with Country Gravy, Southern-Style Collard Greens or Mama's Cornbread Dressing, the 200 recipes in this book are all kitchen-tested and family-approved! South Your Mouth is a celebration of Mandy's irresistible Southern recipes, as well as her secrets for turning a so-so recipe into a SO AH-MAZ-ING! dish you'll be proud to serve to your family. Her down-to-earth recipes and easy-going Southern style, will have you cooking and laughing at the same time too.

The recipes are classic Southern cooking made with basic ingredients and easy for busy moms. Organized by meal types, beginning with Beverages and Appetizers all the way to Pie and Other Desserts, and everything in between. I especially love how Mandy gives cakes and pies, clearly two of my favorite desserts, special attention, because as far as I'm concerned those are the king and queen of sweets.

Of course, chicken in covered in an entire section on Poultry, with favorites like Nanny's Chicken and Dumplings, Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken, Crispy Baked Chicken Wings, Oven Barbecued Chicken, the Honey Garlic Chicken pictured above, and a homemade Shake and Bake copycat, just to name a few.

Classics like Fried Pork Chops and Gravy, Hamburger Steaks, Cheeseburger Pie and Coca-Cola Glazed Ham grace the Meats section, along with sandwiches like Game Night Sliders and Tavern Sandwiches and many more meat-based recipes.

Mandy's recipes are unfussy, family-friendly and easy to follow, with ingredients you are familiar with or that are easy to find, if you don't already stock them in your pantry regularly. This is unpretentious, honest comfort food that Southerners are known for and love, and you'll find her versions of many of your favorites here. Preview the full index here. It's a cookbook that you'll find yourself reaching for time and again. Order one now at online retailers like Amazon, or look for a copy in your favorite bookstore.

You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces – just good food from fresh ingredients. ~Julia Child

The classic southern plate for supper is made up of meat and three, cornbread or rolls & a tall glass of sweet iced tea.

Oftentimes what makes a recipe southern, is as much a state of mind as it is a matter of geography - Southerners simply decide a particular food is southern, and that's that." ~Rick McDaniel, Food Historian
